Gareth shot a fierce glare at Vincent.
The atmosphere in the room turned cold at once, but the two close friends were used to Gareth’s
temperament, so they didn’t care at all and burst out in laughter.
Vincent even teased Gareth fearlessly, “Why that glare? Are you guilty because I hit the bull’s-eye?
Bro, you’re being a little too obvious. Although we grew up together since young, you can’t let me see
through you so easily. Please be more mindful of me as a single. Anyway, you’re so obsessed with her,
but she doesn’t seem to care about you.”
As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed; but the buddies found more joy in teasing
each other and giving sarcastic comments.
The atmosphere turned even colder as if they were in an igloo. Gareth’s frosty voice came forth. “I’ve

never seen a proposal as brilliant as Elisa’s. I always make a clear distinction between private and
public interests.”
Vincent scoffed, “You’re just in denial.”
Gareth glared at Vincent coldly and ignored him.
Perceiving Gareth’s apathetic attitude, Jeremy narrowed his eyes and asked again, “Old Mr. Wickam
plans to get you guys engaged. What’s your view? The recording is incomplete.”
Anyone could discern that it was a partial recording that only recorded Darren’s comment, while
comments from the other people were filtered. So, Jeremy guessed that Gareth definitely didn’t agree
with the suggestion. Otherwise, Rose would release the complete recording unhesitantly.
Before Gareth could reply, Vincent became amused and chimed in, “You don’t have to ask the obvious.
Our dear Mr. Wickam has yet to get over that woman. Of course, he wouldn’t agree.”

“Mind your own business.” Gareth’s expression turned more gloomy.
Vincent’s eyelid twitched involuntarily. He turned to look at Gareth with a frown. “Come on, what do you
expect me to do? I’m your bro, for goodness sake!”
Gareth laughed out of irritation and blurted, “My bro?”
“Yeah. I’m your bro who would risk my life for you, yet you harbor evil intentions toward me! How could
you?!” The accusation in Vincent’s tone augmented toward the end of the sentence.
Sitting aside, Jeremy laughed in spite of himself. Indeed, old habits die hard – Vincent would always
babble away until Gareth taught him a lesson. In fact, the frequency of him teasing Gareth increased
recently, but the latter had been tolerant toward him.
“What are you laughing at? You’re gloating at me again, aren’t you?” Vincent knitted his brows and
glanced at Jeremy in displeasure.

Jeremy lifted his brows, “Just laughing at your cuteness.”
“What the heck?!” Vincent clammed up.
Gareth looked at him coldly and said, “I need your help to handle some affairs in Ebros.”
“D*mn it! I refuse to go! Can’t you go on your own? I’m a busy man too!”
Vincent was upset and extremely reluctant, but Gareth gazed at him calmly and said, “I can only rest
assured if you head over personally this time.”
Vincent laughed. “So, are you begging me?”
Gareth lifted his brows and did not answer, which signaled his acquiescence once again.
Vincent was appeased immediately. “Alright then, since you begged me. I’ll run the errand for you;
remember to reward me when I’m back!”
“Thomas will send you the documents. I hope you can make it back safe and sound.”
Vincent’s smile faded instantly as he stared at Gareth with his eyes widened. “What do you mean?!”
